Nowadays, more and more foreign students come to China. They may
be traveling to China for study, learning Chinese, work or just
for a memorable experience. As a student, if you travel abroad alone,
do make sure that you are entirely able to look after yourself.
The foreign student card (issued by your local school/organizations)
is not currently accepted in China for preferential fares such as
train or air tickets. But at some scenic spots in some cities you
may enjoy a certain discount on admission fees.
Only the student card issued by the Ministry of Education of China
is accepted in China to enable students to enjoy at variety of favorable
terms. However, if you have an ISIC (International Student Identity
Card), which can be obtained in your own country through a travel
agency or a relevant company, you can enjoy some preferential prices
when you visit Hong Kong and Macau, but it is not accepted in mainland
China yet.
